Jay and Jimmy Still Hammering BP

Jun 01, 2010

Jay Leno: "British Petroleum is still trying to minimize the PR damage. You know what they said today? They said all the oil that spilled this month is on the house. No charge."

Jay Leno: "Obama looked pretty mad, if you watched his press conference. President Obama said the head of the federal agency in charge of regulating the oil company is no longer there, but he didn't know if she resigned or if she was fired. I got a better idea. How about arrested? Let's try that."

Jimmy Fallon: "President Obama fired the head of the Minerals Management Service, because of lack of oversight of offshore oil rigs. It's got to be tough finding another job after that. It's like, 'I see you were head of the department in charge of preventing oil spills? And this was during the huge oil spill?' 'Yeah, that's right.' 'You may not be Wendy's material.'"

Jimmy Fallon: "A new poll found that 43 percent of Americans think President Obama is doing a good job at handling the BP oil spill. Of course, the same poll found that 43 percent of Americans hate pelicans."

Jay Leno: "A new study shows that fathers can suffer a form of postpartum depression after their child is born, especially if they're John Edwards."
